Planned a Florida vacation from December 26, 2022 through Jan 5, 2023. Staying in Naples from the…read more26th to the 1st of Jan. Then we had a reservation at the Tropical Sands resort in Seista Key from the 1st to the 5th of January. We have been going to Siesta Key for about 15 years and it is our favorite place to vacation, however this was our first experience with Tropical Sands. We received notice on Dec 24th ( Christmas Eve Day) that my brother had unexpectedly died that day. We immediately canceled our flight, rental car and reservation in Naples with no issues. When we tried to reschedule our reservations at Tropical Sands we were told that the agreement, with no exceptions, we signed indicated no refunds after 60 days prior to reserved days. We had paid the the reservation in full and have no recourse at this time to retrieve our $1500+ prepayment not even in any form of rescheduling. There are many wonderful places to vacation on this great island retreat but Tropical Sands certainly is not one of them.

We were not happy with Tropical Sands Accommodations. We arrived the floor of our place was so…read more"bleached" that it was difficult to breath and we had to open all of the windows and turn on the fan for 24 hours. My husbands black socks on the bottom turned white from the bleach on the floor. The fan in the bathroom does not work and there is mold on one of the chairs on the front porch. There were a few dead bugs in some of the bowls in the kitchen and one of the shelves in the refrigerator was broken and held together with duck tape which finally gave out. We could not find a parking space today. We called management in the beginning of our vacation and they did not respond. On the positive the pool is clean and wonderful and easy access to the beach is great.

JUNE 2025 - DO NOT RENT FROM THIS COMPANY…read more I booked unit T34 in Siesta Key for our family vacation. We drove 9 hours to arrive at a unit that is unfit for occupancy and surely illegal to be advertised as anything else. These are a few of the issues we noticed in the short time we stayed before having to leave and book another accommodation for the week. - Mold on ceiling - Broken sleeper sofa, - Food debris in utensil drawers - Broken patio door with suction handles attached as a "repair" - Broken patio furniture - Trim and paint throughout the entire unit was disgusting and falling off - Fire escape stairs next to unit were closed off and marked "Danger", irony at its finest I attempted to call the company about moving to another one of their units with no answer. Left a VM on their "emergency line" with no call back. I sent several emails to the company around 5-6pm and did not hear anything back. I had to book an entirely different accommodation to try and save our family vacation. This was not a cheap or easy feat given that it is the first week of summer in a highly touristy area of Florida. Colin finally replied at 11am the following day and was quick to dismiss my request for a refund after providing all of this info and the pictures. He stated that they would not be refunding me as I left them "hanging out to dry" and they couldn't rebook anyone for the week. Their concern was the money and not the fact that they needed to address these issues in the condo BEFORE rebooking anyone. It is unfit for occupancy. I was told that they have an emergency line which goes out to someone immediately and they would have gotten back to me the night before. I informed Colin that I did call the emergency line and left a VM to which he replied "I'll have to check with the guy that handles voicemails". So now after paying for a new AirBNB an hour and a half from this first experience, I am left to file a chargeback with my bank and attempt to get my money back from these scam artists. Colin made sure to tell me "you will have to go through your bank". They know a refund is due and want to attempt to push it out until it is forgotten about. I will also be submitting all of this documentation to BBB. DO NOT rent from these people unless you feel like gambling on showing up to a dump and losing your money.

Robert and Janet R Bradenton, FL…read moreTwo years ago, my wife and I decided that it was time to move to Florida. We wanted to rent in the Sarasota area but found places were going very fast! Then we came upon a rental from Florida West Coast Property Management and got in contact with Aimee Bahk. We knew we had to move quickly and Aimee helped get us through the process with ease! Aimee was friendly and professional. She knew the steps we were required to take for us to be approved as renters. Aimee quickly responded to any questions we had during the process. Once our move was successful, Aimee continued to keep in touch. We only had a couple of maintenance issues, which we considered normal, so we notified Aimee. Her response was fantastic! Aimee quickly got the help we needed for the repairs. On more than one occasion, Aimee would say "I appreciate you" as tenants. Well, we appreciate Aimee and want to thank her for all she has done to make our dream a reality!

You might say we were in an unhealthy, co-dependent relationship with our former management company. As in most relationships, it took a crisis for us to realize how badly our former manager was; our former tenant basically sold the property furniture out from under us and the manager claimed ignorance. Anyway, I digress. We were fortunate to have been referred to Florida West Coast Property Managers ("FWCPM") by a realtor when we were considering selling our property. The difference between our former management company and FWCPM could not be greater. Our manager Aimee Bahk is professional, courteous, and a delight to work with. She has helped us through many difficult situations such as finding new tenants and managing repair and installation work orders.

He then tried to threaten me and said if I posted my poor experience, (that was witnessed by 17 individuals), he would sue me. My lawyers had to be copied on the emails and once I put them on the emails, Dan told me I was, "blocked." Up until I copied my attorneys on the emails, Dan continued to send threatening emails. Despite me putting it in writing to please leave me alone. I have attached pictures here of our conversation. The conversation was initially dismissive, then he began to threaten me stating that if I went public he would have me charged with a crime. https://m.yelp.com/biz/gertrudes-village-house-siesta-key While the rental company is not responsible for the inside features, nothing worked. The fridge was broken, the air conditioner would work on some nights, others it did not. The sink would clog and the drainer was broken. This hasn't been addressed because it says they are not responsible for this in the contract. But for your knowledge, the pictures are deceiving. We originally booked this place as a 4/3. Please do your research. Dan, the owner, charged us for a 4/3. We placed a call to Dan to let him know we didn't have the 4/3 and in front of 17 individuals on speakerphone, Dan corroborated this by stating, "yes absolutely. That unit is included with the rental." Dan then gave us the address to the second unit and we walked over there, only to find a family inside. It wasn't until he gave us the address and we attempted to get inside, that Dan called us back and took back everything he said. Unfortunately, the website says it's a 4/3. The owner will likely respond by telling you our email correspondence says I agreed to a 3/2. I have attached those screenshots here. He continues to send me a link that I did not click on. I did it through their website. It is advertised as a 4/3. When Dan realized he double booked, he called us back and said we were mistaken. Despite telling us, "absolutely. The 4th unit is included with your rental." The contract also states we are responsible for looking at the website, which advertises this as a 4/3. Upon my attempt to speak with Dan, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "STOP!!!!" It was the most bazaar reaction. I then said, "excuse me? I am trying to explain my frustration with you." Dan then responded by stating, "ugh I don't feel like dealing with this. I'm on vacation. You booked what you booked. This isn't my problem." I asked him who I could speak to when he is on vacation and he responded with, "no one. This isn't my problem. I don't know what you want me to do. I don't feel like dealing with this." Our email exchange sums up the majority of the issues we faced with Dan. I didn't raise my voice once. I tried to calmly express my frustration and the owner responded by yelling at me, telling me it wasn't his problem, and talking down to me. Please read the reviews on the company. NOT THE LOCATION. The location is why this place continues to get bookings. The owner attempted to sell me a rental that opened up the next morning. He ignored the fact that I paid him for the 4th bedroom and then he charged another family to stay there. Therefore, he charged both me (who did not stay in the 4th unit) and the other family, (who actually stayed in the unit). He essentially rented the fourth bedroom twice, profited from us both, and the other family stayed in it. When he texted me the next morning asking if I wanted the extra unit for a "discounted price." I said "no thank you." I didn't send another text or send any emails. I was going to let my lawyer handle it when I got home. The owner then started an email chain stating I booked the 3/2. When I attempted to defend myself, he threatened me, coerced me, and tried to scare me into posting this review. It wasn't until I copied my lawyer onto the email thread that he stopped sending messages. Even the last email was an attempt to threaten me if I went public with this.
